     Hell, it's been a long time huh? I still pick up a stick every now and again, but I've been way too busy to hunt for new brands. I've just been sticking with my staples like this one. Now I've reviewed the CSIV before, but the difference with this one is that it has been aged for 3 years in my humidor. So here we go again:   ...

The Drip System

     OK, I got sidetracked again. Though I did have this system setup with .5 gallon drippers, I decided to upgrade to a mini sprinkler system. See Below: It works just like those old style spitting sprinklers with the spinning and everything. In the 6 ft. planter, I have a line of 3. These are on a timer to come on twice...

Decking Out My Balcony

     So Here I am starting another project when I'm not done with the dozen or so of the others. This time around you can't blame 100% on me. Blame the FedEx guys that delivered them to me crazy fast. And when I got these I had that sort of new toy syndrome where all your interest is suddenly diverted ADHD style.   ...

Getting Started with the Drip: part 1/2

     Alright, so now that I have things settled as settled as they're going to be I figure that I should properly put together my drip system. For the first try I decided to use the little 1/4" sprinkler heads. Also, I don't have the plumbing to hook directly into the water line I decided to use a 320 gph fountain...

From Hydro to.... Hydro?

It's true. Ever since my move to my new condo I've taken down the good old hydro setup that used to live by the closet. I've decided to use the space on my new balcony to grow... whatever it is I decide to grow. But in essence what I'm doing is still hydroponics. Instead of a recirculating nutrient reservoir I have a non-recycling drip system. In stead of pumice(what I was using in the hydro)...
